This hotel has it all: clean rooms with lots of space, great location in a nice and quiet neighborhood, relatively close to downtown. Free internet access from your room. The staff is knowlegable and very helpfull. Breakfast is decent and free. A complimentary diner buffet is offered is is pretty limited and served bain marie style. Not a problem however, there are plenty nice restaurant of all types close by. Supermarket, movie theater, Key arena and much more at a walking distance of the hotel. Gym in the hotel is the only thing that could use some improvement, but there are several gyms (Rain, Golds, 24 hrs fitness) close by.
Excellent downtown Seattle accomodations

I was in Seattle for a conference at the adjacent Washington State Convention and Trade Center. Located in a nice neighborhood of downtown Seattle.Length of stay at this hotel was 4 days. This hotel charged the least amount for parking compared to the other near-by motels. Since we were there for the week it was much more comfortable to have a suite rather than just a room. It was pretty cool to get comfotable, clean accomodations in a safe neighborhood for the same price that the higher end hotels charge for just a room. Free wireless internet and comfortable work area. Much more value for your money. The staff at this hotel are very courteous and helpful. They also had a healthy, in-the-bag complimentary breakfast available every morning. The rooms are very clean and new.Not much to the fitness facility but fitness buffs can use the nearby Gold's. By the way, there is an excellent smoothie stand in the same building as Gold's. The pool is just okay since it is just 4 ft deep! Didn't check out the spa. They don't have a restaurant inside the hotel, so you have to dine out or order take out. There's a Cheesecake Factory a few blocks away. Seceral good restaurants and coffee places around. We could see the Space Needle from the front of the hotel. Pike's Place Market, Seattle Art Museum, Pioneer Square, and the Seattle Public Library are also close by. The city metro bus runs free in the downtown core during the day so it is easy to visit these places or visit China Town. Close to Macy's, Adidas, Nike, Nordstrom, etc... Pike Place Market is close enough to walk to if you're up to.
Great place to stay!

I stayed in this hotel for 3 days since I had a conference in the adjacent Washington State Conference center. This is a very nice hotel to stay at right in downtown Seattle. It is located approx 15 miles from Sea-Tac. Although the Gray line of Seattle doesn't stop here, one can always take the shuttle express. The closest gray line stop is at the Sheraton which is at 6th and Pike. The people at this hotel are very courteous and helpful. They even had a very nice complimentary breakfast available every morning. The rooms are very clean and new. Although they take a while in cleaning the room once you hang the tag outside your door, they do a very good job. The fitness facility is very poor. So, the fitness freaks out there can use the nearby gold's gym which is very nice. The pool is just okay..just 4 ft deep! The spa looked not too inviting. But the rest of the hotel is just great. They don't have any restaurant inside the hotel, so you necessarily need to dine out. There's a cheesecake factory 2 blocks away. Located in a very nice neighborhood of Downtown Seattle. Close to many shopping malls and macy's, adidas, nike, nordstrom, a&f etc etc..lots of good restaurants and coffee places around (obviously, this being seattle!!!). Pike place market is at a very walkable distance. Overall, a good place to stay for a budget traveler.
needs more work but it's in the right direction

Small details on the rooms would make them great. Doors not sealed sufficiently to keep out the freeway noise. Phones not hooked up. Towel racks put on crooked. Staff was ok but not of the problem solving type. Breakfast was free and excellent. They were renovating so that could have caused some of the finishing work problems. I would go back to give it another try because they give a lot for the money.
Will stay again!!!

We loved our stay. Room, staff and location were all great. Only negative would be, the day we checked in we decided to add a day to our stay, they failed to mention the rate would increase by over $*. We received a message on phone the day of. We just felt like they should have let us know the first day. Still would have stayed!!! We would consider staying again on our next visit.
